The AF16-30-10 is a three-phase IEC contactor rated for 16 A AC-3 (motor duty) and is capable of controlling motors up to about 7.5 kW (400 V) / 10 HP (480 V). It features 3 normally-open main poles (denoted by "30") and 1 normally-open auxiliary contact ("-10") built in. The AF16 series uses ABB's AF electronic coil technology, which offers a wide control voltage range and AC/DC operation with reduced coil hold-in power. For example, versions like AF16-30-10-13 have a 100–250 V AC/DC wide-range coil, while AF16-30-10-11 covers 24–60 V AC/DC. This wide-range coil design ensures reliable pick-up even under voltage fluctuations and simplifies inventory. The contactor is compact (45 mm width frame) and DIN-rail or panel mountable, with screw terminal connections. It has a high breaking capacity (rated for up to 690 V IEC utilization) and an impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, reflecting its robust design. The AF16-30-10's auxiliary contact is suitable for control circuits, and additional auxiliary blocks can be clipped on for more contacts. The device supports up to 3600 mechanical operations per hour, making it suitable for frequent switching tasks. Common applications include controlling small motors, resistive loads, and as a pilot for larger contactors. It meets global standards (IEC 60947, UL 508) and carries CE and cULus markings. Overall, the AF16-30-10 series contactors provide high reliability, reduced coil energy consumption, and flexibility in control voltage, all in a compact unit for motor starters and power switching.
